Five Elements
The foundational framework of Chinese metaphysics: Wood (growth), Fire (expansion), Earth (stability), Metal (contraction), Water (flow).
What this means
They interact through productive (Wood→Fire→Earth→Metal→Water→Wood) and controlling (Wood→Earth→Water→Fire→Metal→Wood) cycles. Used in Ba Zi, Feng Shui, QMDJ, and ZWDS.
In practice
In KAXANTA, five elements is one of the concepts KAXANTA cross-references when synthesising your reading. It runs through all nine wisdom traditions so you can see how the same question reads through multiple lenses.
